Heck, it's the least I could do.

You are providing a very entertaining show and getting a nice upgrade on your FC to boot.

 

alright fellas!!! im practicing on an extra hood that i have!!!!!!!!!!!!!

will take pics of the final results cuz im paintin the whole car! wooooooooo

oh yeah, what kind of paint should i use (white) for the engine bay...can i use regular enamel???or do i have to use hi temp paint??

 

I'm not thinking about buying one, I've used them quite a few times and known people that owned them. Like I said in the first place, just a thought. If I was gonna spray a car, I would personally use a real spray setup. The Wagner idea was kind of a "what if" idea, I'm not saying I would do it, or if it would work very well. What I had in my head was IF you could get a light enough even coat, the paint is already very thin, so it might work out. Then again, I wouldn't paint my car with a roller either. Hell, I don't even like painting walls with rollers.

Way too serious.

 

why dont you just shut the **** up im complementing the guy on his ***** and saying it looks good if i had a car with crap paint id do it. **** *** moron

 

ok here it goes,
i need to resand and repolish the hood, it has bad sand marks.

 

That doesn't look too damn bad Snowball. I'm really really impressed. I know you can't really get the full effect without seeing it in person, but the real question is are you impressed with the turnout?

 

Hell I guess I'd better give it a go, at least on a fender I've got laying around.

 

So, NOW you would use a real spray setup, instead of 'banging knuckles in your dirty garage and driveway with what tools you have?' You must now have a 'pocket full of cash and a full on mechanic for a best friend who happens to have a fully equipped shop'. :

And you want someone else to try your idea on their car? Aw, come on. I really wanted to see your FC with a Wagner paint job.


So, I guess that means no bet?

 

i am impressed.
its not perfect yet, but from what i can tell theirs no reason that i cant make it perfect with some more sanding and polish.

 

looks great man, props

 

Awesome. Now you know you're gonna have to take the baseball bat outside when you get it done to see how the paint is gonna hold up.

 

update:

 

Very nice.

 

Once again, you mis·in·ter·pret. In the first place, it was a reaction to the idea of your first post. I don't know if you read it or not but apparently it ain't easy and it ain't simple. Nice grammar, and no ****. I never said I would paint mine with a wagner, and I never inferred that anyone should. I was wondering if it would be possible, given the circumstance. It was a "thought". Big word, I know, and understanding English is even harder apparently.

Not bad looking so far snow, what kind of roller(s) are you using?

 

WOW the front of ur car looks great! keep up the good work!

 

Snowball you didn't take the name plates off the back.....and you didn't take out the rear signals....Are you drunk

 

signals are out, as for the badges im going to see how skilled i am with the detail brush.

 

DANM!!! Im have been juss sitting here starring in awe...... NICE JOB!!! Cant wait to see when the whole car is done!!!

 

way to get all pissy...

he has a FC with bad paint. So again I ask... "why are you bringing up your FD with good paint?"

 

Well good luck with that. I have all of that stuff off. I would assume you're not doing the mirrors? Maybe I'll take off my passenger side mirror and give it a go.

 

maybe i agree with what hes doing as ive owned 3 fc's and one of them was beat up and never had the money to get it painted so it stayed beat up looking, soooo now that i have a fd i dont really have to worry about it but its commendable that he had the gusto to do it with all these people saying he was dumb.

 

You change the direction of your Wagner suggestion into an attack on my grammar? Hell, my Grammer wouldn't even paint your car with a Wagner spray gun.


Nest yo' will criticize me for mi Speling.

You are really just too much fun!

But seriously (ok, but not way too seriously), you wanted someone else to try your idea, aka 'thought'. When you verbalize or in this case type a thought in a how-to thread you are definitely beyond merely inferring that someone should try your 'thought'. Otherwise, why would you even say it? Other members were starting to jump on your suggestion. Don't pretend otherwise. And of course it is possible to paint a car with a Wagner. It is just a bad idea; admit it and you will feel all better. Get over the pride thing and quit stewing. If it is not such a bad idea, paint your car, track your time and money and then maybe I will owe you a beer. Or not. A pretty simple proposal to which you can say yes or you can say no, thank you.

Regarding reading comprehension: If reading comprehension were so important to you, you would already know the type of roller that is being used. Hint: The type is mentioned in the thread. Read and comprehend.

Here is my thought. No, let us not mince words. Here is my suggestion. Why don't you focus on on:

A) Learning something while you are here (that would excercise your reading comprehension) or
B) Contributing something of value to the thread (that would be more than a 'thought') or
C) Overcoming your issues with denial or
D) Painting your car with the Wagner or
E) All of the above

May I remind you that you jumped on me for merely addressing your Wagner sprayer 'thought' in the light of some practical experience. You have now analyzed my mind, assessed my financial situation, inspected my garage for cleanliness (and everyone else's garage as well), lauded my knuckles as virgin and unbashed, elevated my friend to mechanical sainthood, criticized my reading comprehension and worst of all you picked on my Grammar (who can lick your grammar any day of the week). You even accuse me of being way too serious.

Do you want to call it quits or do you prefer that we continue this discussion?

 

I agree.

Snowball is a hero. It takes a lot of nerve to attempt this publicly with pics facing so much early critical comment. There may be a down side a couple of years from now, but there is no doubt the car is better off, better looking and is a visual knockout compared to before.

And snowball has the pride of accomplishment knowing he did this with an unproved method.

Kudos to Snowball.

 

Yes, Kudos to the Snowballed one

so you have done the front already? is that still crystal white? Looks Awsome... I honestly couldnt tell if yod done the front. Please make a writeup for us people that are IGNORANT about paint and mineral spirts and stuff.


sticky?
